[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could have said that at 28. Then I met my husband at 29.[/quote] Same here. Part of it was that I never allowed myself to fall be in love. I had a truly horrific childhood and my self protection skills were/are formidable. My father died (best thing that ever happened to me still even after DH and kids) when I was 20 and it took me years to get to the point that I was willing to allow open myself up emotionally to a romantic interest. Sure, I'd had sex, dated, etc. but I'd never let myself be vulnerable before I met DH at 29. We've been together almost 20 years and I've finally healed enough that I know I could, again, open myself up to love with another man. But, I'm happily married. Nice to know I could if I wanted/needed to.[/quote] This. People should try to learn more about their early childhoods, in order to better understand these issues. The impact is permanent.[/quote]
